Convenience Foods

I have finally discovered the fastest kid-pleasing meal to prepare, ever. It's even faster than waiting for fast food to come out of the window. This is day 2 of the super-fast five-minute dinner: 1) take tortilla out of package and place on plate; 2) spread two spoonfuls of spaghetti sauce onto it; 3) add shredded cheese; 4) microwave for 18 seconds; 4) fold in half. Meanwhile, open can of pineapple and cut up fresh broccoli. There you have it: an instant, well-rounded meal that covers the protein, dairy, fruit, vegetable and grain requirements. The end! I don't feel tired at all. I didn't even use what I consider to be "convenience" foods. Unless you count the already-shredded cheese that comes out of the package, or the pineapple that comes out of a can, or the tortillas that have already been made by someone else. It's really all about convenience foods, but they're relatively healthy convenience foods. Most people probably associate the concept of convenience foods with frozen or boxed concoctions made with corn syrup, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, salt, sugar, and preservatives and chemicals.
